Yesterday we received our first gift of wonderful locally grown food, as part of Cornell Cooperative Extension's "Grow a Row" program. This new program asks local folks who have a home garden to "grow a row" to donate to local food pantries...what a wonderful idea! Our first delivery came from Ann Kelchlin, and included cilantro, rhubarb, Swiss Chard, oregano, garlic scapes and mint. These will be offered to our food pantry guests today to provide some delicious fresh flavor to their food.

We thank Ann, and the good folks at CCE for including us in this program!
